Department of Political Science Bulletin, February 24, 2020
FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS PAPERS, PUBLICATIONS AND ACTIVITIES:
After having taken a few weeks off from newsletter items (thereby clearing some space for Michael McCann to make announcements), Tony Gill is back with a vengeance and publishing stuff. This time it is a book chapter entitled, "The Economic Origins of Religious Liberty," In M. Breidenbach & O. Anderson (Eds.), The Cambridge Companion to the First Amendment and Religious Liberty (Cambridge Companions to Law). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, pp. 307–33. The "companion" nature of the edited volume seemed to shout out "cuddle me!" However, after an hour on of the sofa binge watching "Parks & Recreation" on Netflix, the sharp edges of the hardcover version provoked Tony to say, "That's it! You are outta here. Go lay on the floor with the dogs." Fortunately, the companion volume had not touched its bourbon, leaving two glasses for Tony to drink!
